Yasmin pill and low mood

Hi all, I hope some of you can help.

I had my lap in February and was then put on Lucette to tricycle. I'm now on Yasmin as apparently they're the "same thing" (I know they aren't as I was on them a few years ago before my lap and I had weird side effects with Lucette), but I've noticed since the doctors gave me Yasmin, my mood has been the lowest it has been for about 5 years. I do suffer with anxiety and depression, but I have not been this low since before I started my medication for my anxiety.

I had this issue with Yasmin a few years ago - I noticed it was really effecting my mood, so I came off the pill, and that is when my endo was discovered as the pill had been masking my symptoms.

I was just wondering if any of you ladies can give any advice as to which pills you tricyle? It's a shame as Yasmin makes my skin look lovely and does help my endo, but my mood is effecting my work, my relationship, and just my general mental well-being. I'd really like a pill which helps my endo, but does not come with the low mood.

Many thanks x

I've suffered from the same thing... So far i haven't managed to find a pill that suits me, i went on microgyon and i didn't last 3 weeks, the doctor said you have to wait 3 months for the side effects to settle, but honestly i wouldn't have still been here. Now i have a fear of trying other pills because it messes with my hormones. Unfortunately i don't have one to reccommend. Apparently the coil helps. Sorry i don't have any advice, but i understand how horrid the mood swings are. X
